Not trying to toot our horn or anything just a quick conditions update. Rather warm day; crossing of Stillaquamish river was fine with skinnable snow starting righ after dropping into the Wirtz basin.

Headlee Pass was easily reached by booting via the gully through which summer trails goes although the gully on the climbers right would be OK as well (there is an incipient slide crack at the top).

Snow from Wesper lake to the Peak was isothermal mush but OK for skinning. Ski down was most fun below the Headlee Pass level back into the Wirtz basin (we skied cleaner snow in the gully on the skier's left but the usual summer gully would go as well). Beautiful day out with cloudcaps covering Cascades east of the DelCampo/Vesper area.

Skinning through lower Wirtz is starting to get thin but the main basin is still well filled in. The summer trail gully is dirty at the entrance and it would be easy to choose the climbers right gully but sometimes it can be difficult at the top. Yesterday it was fine but I have gone that way before when it was a rock scramble at the end.

I was booting up Headlee while you were sliding down. I spent the night on top, skied the west face that evening, and made an extra run down to the lake the next day. Had the whole peak to myself Sunday!
